18: 1957 Ford Thames Trader
Ford has a long history of building workhorse vehicles, in fact, the company dominates the commercial vehicle market. But long before the popularity of the F-Series or the Econoline, there was the 1957 Ford Thames Trader. Taking one look at this monstrosity you’ll see why this commercial truck wasn’t very popular. Aside from its hauling capabilities, the Thames Trader was immensely unpopular and unreliable.
Consumers would routinely have to service these trucks not too long after purchasing, which created a backlash. Ford would eventually replace this line of commercial trucks with the more modern vehicles that we’ve grown accustomed to. Needless to say, the Thames Trader cost Ford a pretty penny to put it out to pasture.
